Crystal Palace defender could Hangeland could keep his place in the team after he replaced the injured Scott Dann in Week 24.

A head injury forced Dann off at half-time at the King Power Stadium on Saturday but even if the defender is passed fit Pardew may prefer to stick with his replacement Hangeland after his inspired performance "He was the best player on the pitch [he won] everything in the air, [was] great defensively and contributed to the goal." Marouane Chamakh [broken nose] is expected to come back into contention but captain Mile Jedinak [ankle] is likely to miss out once again. Wednesday will come too soon for Jerome Thomas and Yannick Bolasie. Feb 10 - 8:44 AM

Former Fulham captain started his first match for Crystal Palace and scored their lone goal as the fell 2-1 to Arsenal late.

Things looked positive for the Eagles just days after Tony Pulis left the club unexpectedly. One of Pulis' acquisitions, Brede Hangeland, opened the scoring and put his new club up 1-0. It looked like the lead would survive until halftime but the Eagles conceded a Laurent Koscielny headed just before the half and then, just when they thought they might pick up a good away point they let in an Aaron Ramsey late winner.

In a very Tony Pulis move, Crystal Palace have moved to fortify their central defense with Brede Hangeland.

The move will add another veteran physical presence to the Palace defense as they look to build on an exceptional second half of last season after Tony Pulis took over. With Hangeland's health in question over the last two seasons he may be better suited to a reserve role but on a spot basis Pulis will hope he can rediscover the form that made him widely sought-after a few seasons ago.

Fulham have elected to end their relationship with long-time center back Brede Hangeland and reportedly did so via an email.

Fulham are clearly in disarray after a change in ownership, multiple managerial changes, and a relegation to the Championship. That still doesn't excuse the reported shabby treatment of long-time star central defender Brede Hangeland. The defender was reportedly informed via email that Fulham were terminating his contract. Given the heights that he helped the club achieve, including a Europa Cup final, you'd think he'd get a bit more respect. If he recovers his health, it will be interesting to see if a Premier League club will have interest in Hangeland as a valuable reserve. Wed, Jun 4, 2014 12:44:00 PM
